Me seeing Pavement in the rain last week? Incredible. Let's top it off with seeing Belle & Sebastian tonight while the remnants of a tropical storm named Nicole hits Williamsburg Waterfront. They best play I'm a Cuckoo or there might be a problem with a band of Scots and a wet Ryan.

Charlie's creepy Uncle and his weird thing with hands (and the whole "We're Lawyers" deal) is my 3rd favorite gif as of late... Right behind Katy Perry from SNL this week (watching Brian watch it during the Eagles game yesterday was the best) , and this cat with the sunglasses that is now the background of my phone.

"1993: The significance of Michael Jordan's first three-peat is completely lost on 9-year-old Daniel Bouton, who is unable to get over the fact that he saw the Suns Gorilla dunk from the three-point line at halftime."

Yes, Fire Joe Morgan is back (for a day) at Deadspin. Ken Tremendous "gives it" to that Mitch Albom guy, and by "gives it" I mean he pretty much murders him on some article in which Albom was blaming fantasy baseball for this and that. Come on Albom, Fantasy Sports isn't going anywhere, let it go. Also, read the titties v. vorp article, this guy also "gets it". Deservedly so, too.

Two of everyone's favorite dudes, Will Arnett and Michael K Williams aka GOB from Arrested Development and Omar from the Wire returned to boob tube this week, albeit in different shows and possibly different roles (well, Steven Wilde might a well be GOB). in HBO's Boardwalk Empire and Fox's Running Wilde. Boardwalk (can I can it Boardwalk?) was as expected incredible with Buschemi being the best and all. The only small complaint I had was that I wanted more than like 5 seconds of Michael K Williams, I know The Wire wasn't all Omar-y from the start but come on, it's Omar in a suit, he needs screen time. And Running Wilde, oh Running Wilde. Some good GOB being a rich asshole jokes that got me laughing but definitely needs to find it's footing because I dunno if the "girl from Felicity and her daughter teach GOB how to love" show is going to work.

"J.J. Abrams and frequent collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec (Alias, Mission: Impossible 4) began pitching a comedic drama to the networks that would have Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn — a.k.a. Benjamin Linus and John Locke/Smokey — playing former black-ops agents."

As you probably know, Michael Vick is the latest acquisition to my fantasy football team, The David Bowies (Sprawl 2: Bowies Beyond Bowies version). And since we both know that concussions and fantasy football victories are both very important issues, I urge you to start Mike Vick on Sunday. Go Eagles! Go Bowies! Go kind of heartwarming stories!

Just like on the track, Nicky Minaj KILLS IT on Monster with Kanye and Jay-Z at Jay's Home and Home concert with Eminem. Still kind of wish Justin Vernon was on stage with them at Yankee Stadium though, would have been insane.

It's a video about It's A Book: Some of you might disagree with me but when the day this video and book by Lane Smith that teaches kids about that bound paper form of communication otherwise known as a book becomes a reality, it's gonna be all types of horrible. (via Obsolete)Rudy, Rudy, oh: According to Sega Genesis' Joe Montana Football's Joe Montana, that famous scene in 1994's Rudy where people are all like "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" and dudes are throwing down their jerseys didn't exactly happen like it did in 1975's real life. (via Animal New York)Answer - Burt Cooper, kind of f-ed: Question - What if fictional Burt Cooper really had one testicle in the 1930s - 1940s? Also, Mad Men was on some next next level shit last week, but you already knew that. (via Basket of Kisses)

He's still on fire: The rosters for the NBA's Eastern Conference teams in NBA Jamincluding current stars as A'mare Stoudimire, Leborn, D-Wade, John Wall, and Jarrett Jack. But the bigger and better news is Jam is now all about legends and mascots such as Patrick Ewing, John Starks, Dennis Rodman, Manute Bol, AI, and THE RAPTOR in the upcoming must buy for the Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, and the PS3. (via ESPN)Date with Ikea if done by cats and not Pavement: Okay, imagine a 100 cats let loose at an Ikea. Alright, got an idea in your head? It's no where near as awesome as it really came out. (via Gizmodo)We (me) really like SplitSider (and Louis CK too): 2010 is really Louis CK's year and truth be todld, I don't think I could like FX's Louie as much as I already do. Another thing I really liking is The Awl's new comedy blog, SplitSider which is where said Louis CK article from and "holy cow," it's great. (via SplitSider)G-Mennnnnnnnnnnnn: I don't think I've been looking forward to a day like I am looking forward to this Sunday in forever, with football really starting with the Giants opening up the new Giants Stadium against the Carolina Panthers. My thoughts on the upcoming season? What Will Leitch said. (via NY Mag)

So imagine a music video for several tracks of Girl Talk's Night Ripper set to like every internet gif ever and you still wouldn't complete grasp Cache Rules Everything Around Me. Also that Jay Z/Ricky Gervais gif is still the best.

We here at OAB (me) love great album art, we(me) love tacos, and we (me) also love the Hood Internet. So what's not to love about AlbumTacos.tumblr.com? We also love Pinkerton but Weezer's new record, Hurley yuck.

A. I’m going to do this sports show. It’s like a “Daily Show” for sports that they’ll put on Comedy Central. It’s supposed to be weekly. They eventually want to do it daily, but I don’t. It’s very hard to make something funny every day."

He slipped on nuts: I only watched the online clip of Jon Glaser on Fallon but Aziz Ansari mentioned that the Roots played Glaser out the the Slipnuts theme song from that Conan skit from what seems like 8 million years ago. Like seriously, Conan hosting Late Night seems like 15 million years ago. But anyway, watch the clip as Glaser, Osama Bin Diesel and some other guy slip on some nuts at a Slipknot concert at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford and black shirts look on in disgust. (via Aziz Ansari)

Oh yeah, Glaser was on Late Night: As mentioned above, Glaser was on Fallon and he was played out to the Slipnuts theme but did I mention that he was wearing a motorcycle jump suit with Jon's Delocated mask with the stars and stripes and sang Philadelphia Freedom? Okay, I did right now. Anyway, Glaser is THE BEST. Seriously, he's all caps the best and you should all be watching Delocated. (via Late Night with Jimmy Fallon)

The R(oom)PG: Saturday Sharing would have been done like two hours earlier if I didn't spending a good portion of my morning playing Newgrounds' The Room game. Oh hi, RPG Denny. (via TDW)

Judge Freedom? You cannot judge Freedom: Truth be told, I'm reading Jonathan Frazen's Freedom and it's the first book that I had a guy who I'd describe as "future Ryan" come up to me and ask me how it is. And since I'm only 40 or so pages in, I felt I couldn't give an adequate response to "future Ryan" or side with either Sam Maclaughan or Dustin Kurtz on whether it's the book of our generation or just a 700 page waste of time. (via The Awl)

Pitchfork places Nirvana's Smells like Teen Spirt at 13 and Pavement's Gold Soundz at 1 on their top songs of the 90s countdown, what kind of world are we living in? A world that I like living in, that's for sure.
